The Chicago Athletic Association hotel (12 S. Michigan Ave.) celebrates two years this month since opening the doors of the long-revered Chicago Athletic Association building to the public for the first time in its 124 year history. Opened May 27, 2015, the Chicago Athletic Association hotel embraces the club’s colorful past while intentionally rewriting the membership-driven structure of the organization that came before it born of the same name.

Since its opening, the Chicago Athletic Association hotel has been dedicated to fostering a sense of community and building a sense of place where guests become neighbors, and neighbors become family.

Two years in, and the games have only just begun. Learn more about how the Chicago Athletic Association hotel is paying tribute to its second anniversary, and how it will be ringing in its third year as Chicago’s living room, play room, and front porch:
